As a professional Photographer I use the 5D Mark IV almost everyday, and the video is amazing! it is worth the money! Many professionals in the industry are still using the 5D mark IV.

@@JourneyAimlessly you think it’s worth it for $1000 or for MSRP? I happen to think neither. For $1000 you can get a Sony A6500+lens with has much cleaner files, good autofocus, and higher bit depth video. You might even have some money left over. The 5D mark IVs depressing 4K video is laughable in comparison to that…. And you can’t even include a lens at this budget

@@SpencerLupul Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing, but on ebay the 5D body is less than $100 I don't actually care about the 4K, the only thing that matters to me is recording in 16:9 1080p 30fps. Literally, no other video format matters.

Awesome video about the 5DMKIV. The 4K files are large given how it’s captured & stored. On the other hand, the 1080p is absolutely amazing. I use my 5DIV for video at times with my C100MKII. I found my 5DIV on the used market through a certified Canon distributor with warranty. Picked up an R6MKII for Christmas and it will carry most of the work. I plan to keep my 5DIV with its build quality. I’m a hobbyist looking to do more photography in the future. Thanks for the content.

Actually, like an old SLR, the 5D Mk IV has a stop-down button near the lens. This mechanically sets the aperture so that you CAN preview the actual image through the eyepiece.

You mention the Compact Flash card as a "quirk" when it ALSO has an SD card, thereby allowing you to pick your favorite format, use any existing older cards you might have in either format, AND most importantly, write to both cards at the same time providing you with ON THE SPOT backup as you shoot? I stopped watching your review the second I realized you were uninterested in being informative, but rather wanted to say what fit your own narrative. The fact that it has two slots for BOTH major card formats isn't a quirk. It's INCREDIBLY BENEFICIAL, as any professional photographer will almost inevitably discover at some point in their careers.

@@marksinger5954 let’s get into this. to start, a quirk isn’t something bad. dual recording is indeed very important. All the cameras I compared it to also have dual card slots and dual recording capabilities. EXCEPT for video 😲this is one area where canon is very much behind other brands. Even so, the only people who benefit from CF compatibility are those who have had older, likely canon, cameras with CF cards. Since SD is so ubiquitous and offers super fast standards nowadays (which BTW the 5D4 doesn’t support 🙄), I see no good reason for it to be here, other than to ease a transition. This camera is obviously intended for photographers who don’t want to switch to mirrorless, and if that’s you, congratulations, canon has crippled your new camera. Anyway thanks for the feedback and I’ll remember next time to mention absolutely every last detail known to man 😉

At first, I was puzzled by your review untill the alternatives. Almost feel the alternatives should have been the leading discussion because it absolutely makes sense. On its own, it is a great camera but if compared it looses on so many aspects. If the price was considerably lower, than yes. Hope people watched till the end.

Dear Spencer, i can't comprehend that u have all the praises for the image quality of 5D Mark iii & the newer one Mark iv is not even on par with its predecessor, strange! The company R&D team must've made a difference when Mark iv was launched. In terms of sales figure in 2016-17 Canon was on top.
@SpencerLupul

thanks for the comment! In case I wasn’t clear: The image quality of the mark iv is indeed better than the III. But is it 500+ dollars better? I don’t think so. you could use that money to buy a better lens, which does more than a camera. And of course, the 5DSR is even better for less money. TL;DR, it’s good but there’s better options

Useless video. Was not even mentioned the built-in GPS. The 5D4 is the most versatile of the canon digital cameras with optical viewer. It has a nikon-like auto ISO and manual mode, what other 5D-s don't have and it has more resolution than the 1D series. I bought it over the R7 because of the optical viewer and my collection of EF L lenses.

@@VG-ey4gi ouch😏fair points, though combined are nichey. Technically, I covered this in the video: Canon’s ecosystem can be harsh towards niches. If GPS, auto ISO, and resolution are all important to you, your options are limited with Canon, and I would look elsewhere. Also why I don’t recommend collecting a lot of EF glass before making this evaluation, because cost of switching is quite high. I am in this exact boat with you 👍🏼
